SKETCHES



Sketching at the eyepiece demands you to very carefully observe the object in the field of view. Generally you'll see details that otherwise go unnoticed. Above all, it's fun and rewarding to do. There's no need spending lots of money on dedicated equipment: a piece of paper, pencil, rubber and clipboard will do.
